I am not a fan.. My mom used to try to dress me all matchy matchy and I hated it.... still do to this day. I would never buy this for my daughter.. however... my DD might actually pick it if left on her own :) she loves dressy frilly stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/matilda-janelove-it-hate-it-what-do-you-think/page/2#post-2872670 Mon, 18 Feb 2019 12:18:25 +0000 skinnycow 2872670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crazydoglady: OMG those are terrible.

They used to make the ruffle pants for women. </p> [attach=8671/19/pn4rsr.420x600.everything_productimagelarge_95_v636672832818035713.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/matilda-janelove-it-hate-it-what-do-you-think/page/2#post-2872663 Mon, 18 Feb 2019 11:42:53 +0000 Mrsbells 2872663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crazydoglady: I had never heard of them. I literally thought this post was about whether people liked the name Matilda Jane! I quickly checked their site based on some of the comments here and they do have come cute pieces that could work but the price doesnt work for me. Not a fan of ruffle pants but some of their dresses, overalls and tops are not as bad as some of these posts claim. I could see my LO wearing the patterened shirts over jeans. </p> [attach=1326/19/pn4rrh.400x600.mj.JPG] [attach=1326/19/pn4rrj.404x600.Capture.JPG] [attach=1326/19/pn4rrk.396x600.Capturemj.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/matilda-janelove-it-hate-it-what-do-you-think/page/2#post-2872661 Mon, 18 Feb 2019 11:26:08 +0000 petitenoisette 2872661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This must be super regional bc I have never seen nor heard of this brand. </p> <p>Those ruffle pants are truly terrible but some of the dresses posted in this thread aren’t bad. </p> <p>My daughter will only wear dress up dresses or primary dresses so it’d be a no go either way for me 😜 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/matilda-janelove-it-hate-it-what-do-you-think/page/2#post-2872642 Mon, 18 Feb 2019 08:09:58 +0000 crazydoglady 2872642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Miss Sarah: your daughter is beautiful! I can admit that I got sucked into the vortex of lularoe a few years back, (it was really popular around here) so I totally get it. At least MJ is good quality which Lularoe never had going for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/matilda-janelove-it-hate-it-what-do-you-think/page/2#post-2872630 Mon, 18 Feb 2019 02:40:25 +0000 Miss Sarah 2872630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>...and here is the one pair of ruffle pants I owned. Even in solid color, I realize now they look pretty silly. :silly: </p> [attach=4499/19/pn42nd.337x600.20180720_101454.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/matilda-janelove-it-hate-it-what-do-you-think#post-2872629 Mon, 18 Feb 2019 02:37:30 +0000 Miss Sarah 2872629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As a mother of a three year old girl who LOVES to dress up, I have to admit I fell down the Matilda Jane hole... but I've resurfaced a little more practical. I only bought like three items full price, but the quality hooked me and I found BST pages and got more! But like many of you have already mentioned, I quickly realized my daughter looked ridiculous, not adorable, if dressed head to toe in MJ. So I resold a bunch and kept a few tamer prints. I don't mind a little pattern mixing here and there, but I definitely prefer an MJ top or dress with plain leggings. I also only buy used or on Zulily when they are on sale. The prints that they have overstock of are usually calmer. In fact, one of the shirts I bought recently was one solid color! :shocked: So, yeah, I have some MJ for my girl, but I tame it down and I don't own ANY of the ruffle bottoms. Pictured here is my daughter in a hand-me-down MJ jacket. :heart: </p> [attach=4499/19/pn42ij.479x600.IMG_20181030_215645_716.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/matilda-janelove-it-hate-it-what-do-you-think#post-2872622 Sun, 17 Feb 2019 22:32:04 +0000 LCTBQE 2872622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, where is Joan Rivers fashion police, this stuff is terrible.</p> <p>@misolee: Zara is so good!

My DD had a frilly dress and tutu (with leggings) phase for YEARS so I understand "ultra feminine" attire, but I just can't get behind mismatched patterns and frivolous frills. I am sure other people may like MJ, but I. Just. Can't! 😉🤣 Be happy you were gifted some of the nicer ones as many others are highly questionable. 🙄😄 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/matilda-janelove-it-hate-it-what-do-you-think#post-2872596 Sun, 17 Feb 2019 19:49:47 +0000 Sams Mom 2872596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crazydoglady: a friend is having a little girl, I walked into the baby girl section...

I entered the baby girl dept like "am I really allowed in now?"

I fear having a little girl because as a second time mom I'll know she will wear a lot of sleepers for a while... BUT I'll want to buy the cute definitely not everyday wear stuff too much 😂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/matilda-janelove-it-hate-it-what-do-you-think#post-2872576 Sun, 17 Feb 2019 18:24:32 +0000 yellowbeach 2872576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have three dresses for DD that I picked up at a local consignment shop. Most stuff is way over the top, and I hate hate hate the ruffle pants. Looks like a clown 🤡 outfit. I just pair the dresses with simple tights or plain leggings to bring it all down a notch. Quality is good but I’m still not willing to pay full price. </p> [attach=7491/19/pn3fow.450x600.3A90999B-518D-44C3-B02F-20DB9F9857AD.jpeg] [attach=7491/19/pn3fox.600x400.3C97C17F-8A42-47CF-A618-F972E8DBF757.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/matilda-janelove-it-hate-it-what-do-you-think#post-2872572 Sun, 17 Feb 2019 18:20:46 +0000 crazydoglady 2872572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: And I actually like this one. </p> [attach=8671/19/pn3fim.400x600.26049D_-5-1.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/matilda-janelove-it-hate-it-what-do-you-think#post-2872571 Sun, 17 Feb 2019 18:20:17 +0000 crazydoglady 2872571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: This is cute! And I agree.
